The all-female League of Legends team G2 Hel, the sister-team of G2 Esports in the LEC, have reached the final of the Hextech Series Division 1 Period 2 in Spain.
The exciting roster of toplaner “Zeniv”, jungler Marta Mesas “Shiina” Garrido, midlaner Rym “Rym” Salloum, botlaner Maya “Caltys” Henckel, and support Ève “Colomblbl” Monvoisin recorded the team’s third win over LittleSans this year with a convincing 2-0 securing their place in the final.
Hextech Series Offers Boost For G2 Hel
This victory was a much-needed boost for the roster after they failed to qualify for the Granada Gaming Premium Cup.
Both the Granada Cup and Hextech series are part of the Cicuito Tormenta. This is Spain’s third tier of competitive League of Legends.
The six divisions of the Hextech Series and one-off tournaments offer teams the opportunity to rack up circuit points to determine their overall Circuito Tormenta ranking.
Should H2 Hel win the Hextech Series, they will move up from their current position of fourth to second in the Circuito Tormenta. However, they will still be far behind the points tally of VALORITY.
The top-performing teams eventually have a chance to compete for promotion to Liga Nexo. This is Spain’s second tier, which features a very high level of competition.
Jungler Javier “Elyoya” Prades Batalla famously jumped from Spain’s second tier straight into the LEC with MAD Lions. He has gone on to become a multi-time LEC champion with three World Championship qualifications under his belt.
It’s been an excellent week for the League of Legends division of G2 Esports as a whole. The organisation recently confirmed a new contract for superstar midlaner Rasmus “Caps” Winter until the end of 2027.
The legendary player is considered one of, if not the best, player Europe has ever produced. He will now be part of G2 until he is 28 years old and potentially towards the end of his career.
In my seven years of esports writing, I’ve introuduced esports coverage to newspapers, interviewed some of the biggest names in the industry, and driven viewers mad with the puns in my YouTube scripts. I’m most proud of the latter.
